Morning and afternoon
Mowers have roared non-stop
Blowers add to air's din
As I watch robins hop
Winds have blown in gray clouds
Someone is pounding nails
Squirrels poke through crunchy leaves
With flicks of busy tails
Hear faint words; neighbors chat
Car motors gunned for speed
As I wait for raindrops
To stifle neighbors' deeds
Smell fresh rain in cool air
Oh, please raindrops begin
Melt away human sounds
Take away human din
Need sweet hum of raindrops
To chase neighbors inside
Under my wood deck's roof
I'll watch cool showers glide
Pit, pit, pat; pit, pit, pat
Hear a soft hiss begin
People sounds fade away
Lips spread into a grin
Feel a little guilty
To just want wildlife sounds
But nature's melodies
Soothe inner battlegrounds
